[Reimplantation of an aberrant right subclavian artery into the ascending aorta in dysphagia lusoria in childhood]

Abstract

Anatomical reestablishment or orthograde flow into the right subclavian artery in children with arteria lusoria is emphasized. Two infants with arteria lusoria were successfully treated by reimplantation of the aberrant right subclavian artery in the ascending aorta without graft interposition through a right thoracotomy. Several surgical approaches are reviewed.
